Music

JBL Wind (Gen1). I love this speaker! It’s durable, loud, and blue tooth compatible. I can clip the carabiner onto my backpack, shoelaces, shirt collar, or belt loop. When you unpack your speaker, you will see all of the attachments needed to enjoy music using the carabiner or the bike mount (seat post). The speaker is also waterproof and has an auxiliary cord and is microSD compatible. Almost forgot to mention you can scan radio stations as well. Unfortunately, the Gen 1 is no longer for sale, hopefully the other models are better! 

Saddle Water bottle holders

This contraption is a convenient way of carrying more water on your rides without having to wear a bladder or drill more holes into your bike frame. The assembly is easy, and you can remove it easily- nothing is permanent. The only thing you will need is a bottle cage!

Rei co-op commuter pack 

Backpack with the waterproof cover works great! The backpack is designed to allow air in between your back and the backpack. It also has numerous straps to hold it in place. The burnt orange color was discontinued. It has over 8 carabiner loops.

Seat post bag

This seat post bag is convenient. I store inner tubes, a tire pump, snacks, tire levers and Allen keys. Burn orange color discontinued. 

Headlight

My Bontrager Ion 120 Front Bike Light came with batteries and a mounting bracket. This light is bright, and I’ve never had to change the batteries. The light has 3 modes of operation: high, low, and flashing. It was also under $30!

Whistle (electronic- used as a bell)

I like the ease of use- I press a button and everyone hears the ringing even pedestrians who wear headphones. This is much better than me yelling or flinging a bell which I typically struggle to fit on my oblong with handlebars. I can also use this on the soccer field instead of waving and yelling until I’m out of breath.

Cell phone holder

I was nervous the first time I rode with my phone clamped down on this mount. I hate having a soggy phone that sits in my jersey pockets and leaving my phone in the cycling bag is inconvenient. This mount holds the phone tight and can be clamped on your handlebar as well as the stem (I’ve used it both ways). I agree the price I paid as well.  

Planet Bike waterproof saddle cover

This saddle cover protects my saddle from the elements while I transport my bike. I love that it is waterproof and has its own carrying case. The Velcro loop assists in folding the saddle cover.
